For better or worse, part of the story of the FOSS ecosystem is that there is no singular "Linux community." Rather, there are many communities with different interests, some of them overlapping, some of them complementary, and some of them competing. There are plenty of detractors to modern technologies such as systemd and Wayland, but there are also plenty of supporters (or else those technologies wouldn't have gotten adopted in the first place), and there are people who don't have a passionate opinion one way or the other as long as their software works.
This lack of a singular community is simultaneously a blessing and a curse. It's a blessing due to the freedom FOSS software provides; not all software is going to fit everybody's needs, and FOSS allows the freedom to modify software tools. However, the curses are resources spread thinly across competing projects, as well as the rough, sometimes chaotic development cycles that sometimes occur in bazaar-style projects that lack Steve Jobs-esque "benevolent dictators" who have a clear vision for the product being developed. For example, the transition from X to Wayland would've probably gone smoother if there were a powerful entity that was able to enforce its will among Linux users and developers, but since there is no singular Linux community, the "bazaar" independently adopted Wayland at each project's own pace. This is the fundamental difference between Linux versus platforms whose vendors exert greater control, such as Windows and especially macOS.
